    Close to the beach (but right on the highway) is really the only positive thing I have to say about…read morethis place. It was filthy (long hairs on bathroom floors, dust everywhere and visibly on furniture). My husband tried to surprise me with a night away with a friend at Rockaway Beach. Based on the pics in the advertisement I would have booked it as well...but it was not as described. Horrible night sleep as well with both bedroom windows right next to the highway and a food truck. My friend and I tried to just laugh about it and enjoy the night regardless, but will never stay here again. Had potential, but literally looked like they tried to buy a few new decorations to cover the fact that this place needs some major TLC before it's ready to have guests again.

    Your unit was filthy and uncomfortable. If we had read the reviews before booking we would have…read morenever stayed here. Your floors were completely disgusting with dirt in every room. We had to wear socks the whole time in order to keep our feet clean. You need a new broom. Your broom did not help with the dirt. All it did was smear it around and made it worse. The sheets were not clean. They did not smell clean nor looked clean. All of your pillow cases were turned inside out and put back on the pillows. Not good. The linen for the hyda bed was thrown into the cabinet and not folded. Your dishes were not clean as well. One of your plates had shards of glass on it. Again...not GOOD! PLEASE PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET NEW HOUSEKEEPING!!! We witnessed her come in for other rooms and not do a dang thing but tinker around and vape. We will never stay here again nor will our family and friends.

    The Norblad Hotel is such a great place to stay in Astoria. The building itself is beautiful, the…read morerooms were extremely clean, and the whole place has a relaxed, welcoming feel that immediately made me comfortable after a long day of traveling and biking. Tera at the front desk was especially kind and helpful and really added to the experience. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the property and the guests staying there. My favorite part was the record player and vinyl collection you can borrow from the front desk to play in your room. It was such a cool touch and honestly made the stay feel memorable in a way most hotels don't anymore. I also loved that there were no TVs in the rooms. It made the whole experience feel quieter, calmer, and more connected to the town and the trip itself. The location is perfect for walking around Astoria, grabbing food or coffee, and it worked especially well for my Oregon coast bike trip. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

    I've stayed here a handful of times. Very simple and dated accommodations. Not expensive. Great…read morelocation. Friendly staff. Amazing kitchen. Tons of charm--from the squeaky floors to the actual keys for the door. I opted for the shared bathroom accommodations, which was perfectly fine. There was some pretty significant construction noise on my outside wall that woke me early, but I've never had any noise issues before.

Room #1 was very quaint and enough room without bumping into furniture. The bed was soft as were the pillows. We were able to get a good night's sleep. The cafe has a handicap ramp plus separate stairs leading to it. A million hats off to the chef! The food had ample portions and was scrumptious!! The sourdough toast was a delight as you could actually taste the sourdough. It was a perfect pairing with my bacon and eggs. The live music was a bonus! Even though the stairs were daunting, people were friendly, warm, and I can't wait to eat there again!!

Given the "antique" shop opportunities is might be much busier during the tourist season. The service was small-town nice, food came quickly, and the menu had lots of choices. I had the French dip sliders- perfectly fine. The star of the show was my partner's BLT, Mr, picky said that it was his current favorite for that sandwich. So good service, nice room, ample menu and well prepared food. Prices were fair. And, as I always comment, clean restroom, key for a road trip. Also of interest - booths were four-six tops they accommodate larger groups with movable tables. Street parking was available.

    Drop the needle…read more.. This place spins like a vintage '70s record and old school soul with a fresh new groove. From the outside, you get that classic hotel vibe, but step inside and it's been remastered into something effortlessly cool... warm, stylish, and just the right amount of hip. Now let's talk about the room, clean? No... immaculately pressed. Easily the cleanest hotel room we've ever stayed in. Everything felt dialed in, like every detail hit its note perfectly. Location? Right on track. Price? A total steal and it's like finding a rare vinyl in the bargain bin. Parking? Smooth and easy, no scratches on this record. And the staff... nothing but good vibes. Friendly, welcoming, the kind of people that make you want to stay on side B a little longer. We'll definitely be back again--this one's going into heavy rotation. The record player added a great touch. Grab a vinyl at check in and drop the needle !

It really does…read moreremind you of something out of a movie, the entrance into the central courtyard giving motor lodge vibes. The location right on Brooten is perfect, you can't miss it. The man staffing the office when I checked in on a Thursday night was really nice. Not in a forced way, nor did he seem like he was tired that he does this every day. He was truly kind, relaxed, helpful and informative. And there was a lot of information to give. The record library that you can borrow from is extensive, I barely scratched the surface (not of the records of course!). Having the update of a door code instead of keys was nice. The rooms were generous in size and had everything we needed - desk for piling my stuff on, TV, single serve coffee maker, two beds, bathroom, mini fridge and microwave. Couple notes that really don't count against the place but just to make one aware - the beds felt like maybe they weren't quite queen sized but almost full sized? I don't know, I couldn't figure it out but then again, I haven't slept in a queen in awhile. But they were comfortable. Also, where the coffee maker was, on the desk under the TV, there were no outlets. Two blank outlet covers under the desk and the outlet being taken up for the TV but no outlet for the coffee maker. I ended up putting it on a nightstand. Works fine, just a weird thing. I really loved the faux-vintage mini fridges and in some rooms, matching microwaves. Location of this hotel is great, you can walk to most things quite easily. No sidewalks, but that's ok. I would stay here again!

    I loved my stay here at the NW Portland hostel. I've been to many hostels around the world, and…read morethis is by far the most calm and peaceful hostel I've been to. They have everything you may need - soap in the shower (bring towels), free water, free social events (cider and wine tastings, city tours, live music), a cafe with food and drinks, and several buildings with rooms. I really appreciated that my 4-bed, all-female room only had me and one other person in it throughout my 4-night stay. I appreciated they don't try to cram the rooms full. I really liked that the bathrooms are private. Each floor has 4 private bathrooms, each with a shower. Each bad has its own bed lamp, charging station, and personal fan. There aren't any bed curtains, though. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is great and only a 10-20 minute walk into the city. Street parking is available for less than $5 a day. Would choose to come back and stay here again!

The kitchen is too cluttered with people's food. The room was too hot and we couldn't figure out how to cool it down. Those were the only things that kept this place from getting a 5 star.
